Where to Start
- Bites but no bugs in sight? Book a Del Rey inspection, or a dog search if the problem seems new.
- Extra people staying for the harvest? Have spare rooms and guest beds checked on the same visit.
- Renting out an older house? Ask for walls, outlets and trim to be checked, not only the beds.
- Want no pesticide on the kids' beds? Heat, or steam on mattresses and couches, may suit you.
- Bugs everywhere or back after treatment? Ask whether tenting the house is the better choice.
